Well, it wasn't that fast for me. I managed to complete my MBA in a single term, but it ended up taking 7 months instead of 6. Though that is still way faster and cheaper than the traditional path since I still only had to pay for a single term.
I had planned to finish in 4-5 months, and I was well on track since I finished everything but the Capstone in 3.5 months. But then I got put into a slower-moving Capsim group which took 6 weeks to finish. Along the way, some unexpected health issues popped up which made finding a partner for my consulting project take longer than expected. All together that ended up delaying me long enough that I required an extension to finish.
On the bright side, I was in charge of my Capsim team and led our company to a top 1% score across all schools. We got an award from the school too, though they give that to everyone that gets in the top 10%. I was hoping they would have a special reward for the top 1%.

Yeah, there are a bunch. However, I'm not one of them. I'm in San Francisco. But it's only a half-day drive or a short flight to get to Anaheim from here.
I'm still debating on whether I'm going to go. If I do, I'm going to try to turn it into a family vacation since my daughter will be 4 by then and she'd love to see Disneyland.
If the Anaheim date was the week before or the week after Blizzcon, I'd attend that one for sure.
